In the following description, details are set forth for the purpose of explanation. It will be appreciated that those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention can be practiced without the specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and procedures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessary detail. Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is in accord with the broad scope of the principles and features disclosed herein.

The present application provides an array substrate. The details are described below respectively.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the array substrate 10 includes a substrate 11 as a base, and a first gate layer 12 formed on the substrate 11. The first gate layer 12 includes a plurality of first gates 121. A first insulating layer 13, an active layer 14 and a source/drain layer (not shown) are further sequentially formed on the first gate layer 12. The active layer 14 is made of a semiconductor material that is located above the first gates 121 and is separated from the first gates 121 by the first insulating layer 13. The source/drain layer includes a source and a drain distributing on both sides of the active layer 14 respectively, and at least a portion of the source and at least a portion of the drain are located above the active layer 14 and in contact with the active layer 14.

A second insulating layer 15 is formed on the source/drain layer, and a second gate layer 16 is further formed on the second insulating layer 15. The source/drain layer and the second gate layer 16 are spaced apart from each other by the second insulating layer 15. The second gate layer 16 includes a plurality of second gates 161, and the first gate layer 12 and the second gate layer 16 are connected, so that the plurality of first gates 121 of the first gate layer 12 and the plurality of second gates 161 of the second gate layers 16 are connected to form a thin film transistor having a double gate structure, which effectively improves a carrier mobility of the thin film transistor constituted by the first gates 121, the active layer 14, the source, the drain, and the second gates 161.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the second gate layer 16 may include second gate lines 162 connecting the plurality of second gates 161, and the at least two of the first gates 121 are connected to a same one of the second gates 161, so that the first gate layer 12 and the second gate layer 16 are connected, and it is not necessary to connect the plurality of first gates 121 and the plurality of second gates 161 one by one, thus avoiding providing an adapter hole for connecting the first gate and the second gate in each of the sub-pixels, thereby reducing an area occupied by the adapter hole, such that an object of increasing a storage capacitance of the sub-pixels and reducing a capacitance of the gate lines is realized, and the display device has a better display effect.

The first gate layer 12 may include a first connection line 122 that connects the plurality of first gates 121 together to form a first gate group, and one of the first gates 121 of the first gate group is connected to one of the second gates 161, such that the plurality of first gates 121 are connected to a same one of the second gates 161. The first gates 121 in the first gate group may be directly connected to the second gate 161 or the second gate lines 162, or the first connection line 122 of the first gate group may be connected to the second gates 161.

It should be noted that a number of the first gates 121 included in the first gate group may be determined according to a number of the first gates 121 connected to the same one of the second gates electrode 161. For example, when two of the first gates 121 of the first gate layer 12 are connected to a same one of the second gates 161 of the second gate layer 16, the first connection line 122 connects the two of the first gates 121 together to form the first gate group; and when three of the first gates 121 of the first gate layer 12 are connected to a same one of the second gates 161 of the second gate layer 16, the first connection line 122 connects the three of the first gates 121 together to form the first gate group.

In some embodiments, the first connection line 122 and the second gate line 162 may at least partially coincide with each other to save wiring space inside pixels, and reduce light shielding by the first connection line 122, thereby improving transmittance of the thin film transistor.

It should be noted that the first connection line 122 may partially coincide with the second gate line 162, or the first connection line 122 may entirely coincide with the second gate line 162. Of course, the latter has a better effect on improving the transmittance of the thin film transistor. When the first connection line 122 entirely coincide with the second gate line 162, a width of the first connection line 122 may be less than or equal to a width of the second gate line 162.

As shown in FIG. 1, the source/drain layer includes a plurality of data lines 17 that connect the plurality of sources of the source/drain layer together. In addition, the second gate layer 16 includes a plurality of second gate lines 162. The plurality of data lines 17 of the source/drain layer and the plurality of second gate lines 162 intersect with each other to form a plurality of first pixel units 18. The first pixel units 18 include a plurality of sub-pixels 181.

In some embodiments, the first gates 121 of the plurality of sub-pixels 181 in the first pixel units 18 may be all connected to the second gate 161 of a same one of the sub-pixels 181.

It can be understood that as the number of the first gate 121 connected to the second gates 161 is increased, a number of the adapter holes is decreased, and the storage capacitance of the plurality of sub-pixels 181 of the first pixel units 18 is increased. However, the longer the length of the first connection line 122, the more the data lines 17 overlaps with the first connection line 122, which tends to increase a risk of short circuit during preparing the array substrate 10. In the present application, the first gates 121 of the plurality of sub-pixels 181 in the first pixel units 18 are connected to the second gate 161 of a same one of the sub-pixels 181, so that the length of the first connection line 122 is moderate, and the storage capacitor of the sub-pixels 181 is effectively improved, while the risk of short circuit during preparing the array substrate 10 is reduced.

In addition, when the first gates 121 of the plurality of first pixel units 18 are connected to one of the first pixel units 18, some of the first pixel units 18 may have an adapter hole, while some of the first pixel units 18 do not have an adapter hole, so that there is a large difference between the first pixel units 18. In the present application, by connecting the first gates 121 of the plurality of sub-pixels 181 in the first pixel units 18 to the second gates 161 of a same one of the sub-pixels 181, the difference between the first pixel units 18 can be reduced, and the display effect of the display device is improved.

In some embodiments, each of the first pixel unit 18 may include three sub-pixels 181 sequentially distributed, and the first gates 121 of the three sub-pixels 181 in each of the first pixel unit 18 may be all connected to the second gate 161 of the sub-pixel 181 in the middle.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the three sub-pixels 181 of the first pixel unit 18 are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction, and colors of the three sub-pixels 181 are red, green, and blue, respectively. The first gates 121 of the three sub-pixels 181 are all connected to the second gate 161 of the green sub-pixel 181.

Of course, the first gates 121 of the three sub-pixels 181 in the first pixel unit 18 may alternatively be all connected to the second gate 161 of the sub-pixel 181 at the end.

Table 1 below shows a storage capacitance and gate line capacitance of each of the sub-pixels measured experimentally when the plurality of first gates and the plurality of second gates of the array substrate are connected to each other one by one.

TABLE 1 Items C(pF) Cst-R 0.241 Cst-G 0.238 Cst-B 0.247 Gate 0.424

Table 2 below shows a storage capacitance and gate line capacitance of each of the sub-pixels measured experimentally when the three first gates 121 are connected to one of the second gates 161 in the first pixel unit 18 of the array substrate 10.

TABLE 2 Items C(pF) Cst-R 0.323 Cst-G 0.227 Cst-B 0.328 Gate 0.379

Here, Cst_R represents the storage capacitance (Cst) of the red sub-pixel 181; Cst_G represents the storage capacitance (Cst) of the green sub-pixel 181; Cst_B represents the storage capacitance (Cst) of the blue sub-pixel 181; and Gate represents the gate line capacitance.

As can be seen from the comparison between Table 1 and Table 2, the array substrate 10 of the present application can effectively increase the storage capacitance of each of the sub-pixels 181 of the first pixel unit 18 and reduce the gate line capacitance.

In other embodiments, the first gate layer 12 may further include first gate lines connecting the plurality of first gates 121, and at least two of the second gates 161 of the second gate layer 16 are connected to a same one of the first gates 121 of the gate layer 12, so that the plurality of first gates 121 of the first gate layer 12 and the plurality of second gates 161 of the second gate layer 16 are maintained in connection with each other, and it is not necessary to connect the plurality of first gates 121 and the plurality of second gates 161 one by one, thus avoiding providing an adapter hole for connecting the first gate and the second gate in each of the sub-pixels, thereby reducing an area occupied by the adapter hole, such that an object of increasing a storage capacitance of the sub-pixels and reducing a capacitance of the gate lines is realized, and the display device has a better display effect.

In some embodiments, the second gate layer 16 may include a second connection line connecting the plurality of second gates 161 together to form a second gate group. In the second gate group, one second gate 161 is connected to one of the first gate 121 in a same gate layer 12, to connect the plurality of second gates 161 of the second gate layer 16 to one of the first gate 121 in the same gate layer 12. The second gates 161 of the second gate group may be connected to the first gate 121 or the first gate line, or the second connection line of the second gate group may be maintained in connection with the first gate 121 or the first gate line.

It should be noted that a number of the second gates 161 included in the second gate group may be determined according to a number of the second gates 161 connected to a same one of the first gates 121, and details are not repeated herein for brevity.

In some embodiments, the second connection line and the first gate line may at least partially coincide with each other to reduce light shielding by the second connection line and improve the transmittance of the thin film transistor. Alternatively, the second connection line may partially coincide with the first gate line, or the second connection line may entirely coincide with the first gate line 162. Of course, the latter has a better effect on improving the transmittance of the thin film transistor. When the second connection line entirely coincide with the first gate line, a width of the second connection line may be less than or equal to a width of the first gate line.

In some embodiments, the first gate layer 12 may include a plurality of first gate lines, and the plurality of first gate lines intersect with a plurality of data lines 17 of a source/drain layer to form a plurality of second pixel units. The second pixel units include a plurality of sub-pixels. The second gates 161 of the plurality of sub-pixels in each of the second pixel units can be connected to the first gate 121 of a same one of the sub-pixels, to effectively increase the storage capacitance of the sub-pixels and reduce the short circuit during preparing the array substrate 10, so that the difference between the second pixel units can be reduced, and the display effect of the display device is improved.

Optionally, each of the second pixel unit may include three sub-pixels sequentially distributed, and the second gates 161 of the three sub-pixels 181 in each of the second pixel unit may be all connected to the first gate 121 of the sub-pixel in the middle.

Specifically, the three sub-pixels of the second pixel unit are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction, and colors of the three sub-pixels are red, green, and blue, respectively. The second gates 161 of the three sub-pixels are all connected to the first gate of the green sub-pixel 181.

Of course, the second gates 161 of the three sub-pixels 181 in the second pixel unit may alternatively be all connected to the first gate 121 of the sub-pixel at the end.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the array substrate 10 may further include a third insulating layer 19 formed on the second gate layer 16, and a metal adapter layer 20 formed on the third insulating layer 19. The metal adapter layer 20 connects the first gate layer 12 and the second gate layer 16 together through a lower adapter hole, so that the plurality of first gates 121 of the first gate layer 12 are connected the second gate layer 16, or the plurality of second gates 161 of the second gate layer 16 are connected to the first gate layer 12.

Specifically, the second gate layer 16 includes a second gate line 162 connecting the plurality of second gates 161, and one side of the metal adapter layer 20 passes through the third insulating layer 19 to be in contact with the second gate layer 16, while another side of the metal adapter layer 20 passes through the third insulating layer 19, the second insulating layer 15, and the first insulating layer 13 to be in contact with the first gate layer 12, to connect the first gates 121 and the second gates 161 together.

In other embodiments, the first gate layer 12 may also include the first gates 121 and the first gate lines, and one side of the metal adapter layer 20 passes through the third insulating layer 19 to be in contact with the second gate layer 16, while another side of the metal adapter layer 20 passes through the third insulating layer 19, the second insulating layer 15, and the first insulating layer 13 to be in contact with the first gates of the first gate layer 12, to connect the first gates 121 and the second gates 161 together.

Of course, the second gate layer 16 may directly pass through the second insulating layer 15 and the first insulating layer 13 to be in contact with the first gate layer 12 to realize a connection of the second gates 161 of the second gate layer 16 to the first gates 121 of the first gate layer 12.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, a fourth insulating layer 21 may also be formed on the third insulating layer 19 and the metal adapter layer 20 to protect the metal adapter layer 20.
